Mario's shot
-
Speaking of Mario's shot, how many had turned the game off? Be honest, we won't kick you out! I stuck with it but I do know some who had turned it off.

Not me!

I'm faithful to a fault. I'm there 'til the end.

I was all in

@wissox83 I don't remember about the Mario game, but I went to bed at halftime of the 2022 Championship. You're all welcome. I stay up - we lose.

Mario's shot wasn't a buzzer beater and it didn't win the game. That's why it's not as high up as other moments.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Mario’s shot was the clutchest shot on the biggest stage. The fact that he could only tie with a 3 should be the reason he is number 1, not a detractor.
-
@approxinfinity the shot also wasn't a buzzer beater. There was still 3 seconds on the clock and Memphis had a decent half court look to win it.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 sure but these things dont disqualify it for me. If he hadnt made it the extra time almost certainly wouldnt have mattered for us. It was make 3 or go home.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I know we're picking hairs here, but a shot where the other team has to throw it from almost full court to win is a buzzer beater. And we lose if he misses. It was epic but somehow a quarterfinal shot like Laettners gets venerated as some sort of shot from the gods and Marios gets people saying well because it wasn't this or that it's not "as high up...."
Bull biscuits. Horsehockey. Mule Muffins! Marios and Keith Smarts and Lorenzo Charles are the only true epic buzzer beaters in NCAA tournament history.
